romney care versus obama care. it seems like just -- and you've been around enough campaigns, that behaviorally what we're seeing here in this candidate is a form of public pani thfllog related to him being absolutely lost at this point as a candidate. >> i think that's right, lawrence. it's a form of desperation. what this candidate is displayings a lot of different voices yelling i his ear from different aides, saying you've got to be this kind of candidate. some of them are saying in response to that 47% video, you've got to show compassion. so all day today, romney in ohio was going aund saying his heart hes for peoe w a unemployed. he is proud of what he did in health care in massachusetts. he's proud of the entitlements he created. but the same romy hearing from another politicaldv r back to the right wing craziness that has characterize the the republican party for years now. and he wants to appeal to get out the vote among the base. >> we know he's bn criticized and he's been critized from clg specifics in
